Everyone involved with the Sci Fi Channel Battlestar Galactica series swears they won't make a big-screen movie. But BSG may be coming to theaters anyway, courtesy of original series creator Glen Larson.

IGN says Universal Pictures is planning to do a feature film version of BSG, based on the original 1978-1979 series. Larson is lined up to write the script and produce the film. (IGN says Universal denied the rumor, but other sources confirmed it independently, so a slight grain of salt is indicated.)

I'm wondering if anybody would be interested in an old-school BSG movie, after the new series has gotten so much critical and nerd attention. But it'll be interesting to see if this actually goes anywhere. [IGN]
